Detour
street blocked
shoulders stop
sprinting heart
slammed
wall of
pitiful apologies and
indifferent shrugs
battered sign
pointing
inevitable
orange paint
fate
I hate
bubbling
laughter
beyond
sharp ie
stained line
never master
line
invisible
impervious
piercing
line
lump
daggered whispers
sizzling tears
lodged
in my throat
not enough
sugar
to coat
truth
facing
orange paint
fate
I hate
tick tick tick
bike
antique clock
off rhythm
knocking in my head
time wasted
shadows bright
only light
pedaling through
dense fog
choking back tears
like a frog
murmurs of
“you can’t do this”
haunt me
I want
more than
their taunts
pedaling harder
condensation my
determination
fog fades
clear path ahead
adventure
firm in my head
every twist
turn
a lesson
not
limit
preparation for
the right time
not the
fastest climb
orange paint
fate
I await
